P.S.- how did the SAMMI get started anyway- by people who were concerned about the safety of the people that shoot firearms.
That was indeed the case, and it worked.
There are only a few major muzzleloading manufacturers, and all have " claimed" they want some type of standards. Yet, there has been zero visible progress to date. They don' t seem to want it very badly.
No one wants " evil big government" regulation. Yet, the fact remains that the tank on your gas grill is built to better defined standards than many muzzleloaders are. That makes little sense to me.
